Legendary singer Jose Chameleone has hailed his young brother, Weasel Manizo, for sticking by his side through the harsh conditions when they traveled for his treatment in the USA.

In 2024, Jose Chameleone was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, leading to his hospitalization in the ICU at Nakasero Hospital, where he was advised to seek advanced treatment abroad.

During his live TikTok broadcast, Jose Chameleone revealed that he didn’t have anyone to accompany him as his caretaker because Pallaso had a show in South Africa and their mother didn’t have a visa.

Since his young brother Weasel had a Visa, he pledged to go with him. Juliet Zawedde offered to cater for Chameleone’s treatment in the USA, also offering them a place to stay, equipped with one bed, a couch, and a pool table in her basement.

For the four months that they were there, Chameleone narrated that Weasel slept on the couch while taking care of his brother. Despite the freezing weather conditions, he chose to sacrifice his happiness back home, spending Christmas with his kids, missing out on Valentine’s Day with his woman, just to see that his brother gets better.

“For all the four months we spent in the USA, Weasel slept on the couch. He slept in that condition and I would wake up in the night and cover him up. He did all that for that long for his brother’s sake. He wasn’t the sick one but he stayed. Very few people can sacrifice themselves like that. He was capable of taking me there and leaving me just like that. Even if it was me in his place, I do not know if I would have stayed for that long,” he said.

Recounting the time he travelled to the USA for treatment, Chameleone has disclosed that he did not have anyone to accompany and care for him while there. His brother Pallaso had shows in South Africa, while their mother did not have a visa so they couldnt escort him. At such short notice, Weasel was the only one who had a USA visa, and he willingly accepted to accompany him without thinking twice. While in the USA, Juliet Zawedde, who had offered to help facilitate Chameleone’s further treatment, provided them with a basement equipped with one bed, sofa, a pool table and other forms of entertainment. However, throughout the nearly four months extending to freezing winter while Chameleone was ill & receiving treatment, Weasel chose to sleep on the couch and take care of him. In appreciation of the sacrifice, Chameleone has extended deep appreciation, acknowledging weasel for putting aside his own comfort & happiness missing christmas,valentines day without his wife Teeta Sandra, to stand by him during one of the most difficult periods of his life. #Gratitude #NBSAfter5
